I joined #mastodon on New Year’s Day, with no idea what to expect

I found somewhere totally different to other social media. No ads, no algorithm, and a massive number of really nice people. Thank you all for making me feel welcome and comfortable in this unique place you call the #fediverse

But the best part is how much you all like cats (because me too)

Here’s Molly, sitting between my knees and staring at me until I give her treats

@rufustheduck she's a beauty. Yeah, the fediverse is a breath of fresh air.
@DrCassone it really is!
@rufustheduck I recently opened my own solo Mastodon instance. I really like that I'm helping decentralize the fedi while at the same time I truly own my own experience. It's another option. I'm using a service to host it for me - super easy and cheap.
